Condyloma acuminatum

Definition:

Condyloma acuminatum is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It is characterized by fleshy papules on the mucosa and skin of the anorectum and genitalia, with genital disease being more prevalent than anorectal disease. Warts tend to be painless, but may be associated with some discomfort or itching.
